Illinois legislature faces far reaching reform legislation
The Illinois General Assembly opens with a large calendar of reform bills touching fundamental and regulatory laws. A key issue is relief and a loss of 6 million revenue from private utilities after a Supreme Court ruling, plus federal plans pushing local governments to cover unemployables. The session will overhaul regulatory statutes and the criminal code. A major clash centers on auto license fees with a proposed flat 3 dollar state fee for pleasure cars. The Illinois Commerce Commission plans a new truck regulating bill, drawing opposition from truck owners who fear higher taxes and seek their own liability measures.
